Downtown drama
There were a few tense'moments in downtown Perry Tuesday afternoon when more than half a dozen Perry
Police Department officers and Taylor County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a possible bank robbery at
Wachovia on Main Street. Officers donned bullet-proof vests before entering the building. Other officers set up
a perimeter around the block and worked to keep traffic clear. However, the area was cleared and the search
called off after it was determined that the information was incorrect and no crime had been committed.

Rivers continue to rise

Following last week's
storms, the Aucilla and
Econfina ri\ ers remain over
their banks and have reached
some homes' porches in the
area.
The rain, along with the
threat of more water flowing
south from Georgia, prompted
the county commission to
declare a state of emergency
Thursday afternoon,
This week, however, local
emergency management
officials are saying Taylor
County has been lucky
compared to surrounding areas,

which are experiencing (in
some locations) record
flooding.
According to the National"
Weather Service, in its updated
flood warning for the Aucilla,
the river was expected to crest
late Tuesday. At 8 a.m.
Tuesday, the river was at 13.3
feet in Lamont; flood stage is
9.0 feet.
The river is projected to
remain above flood stage for
the rest of the week, falling to
11.2 feet by Saturday.
The Econfina, according to
the NWS reporting station, was

at 10 feet Tuesday morning,
just below floodstage (11 feet).
The river has risen more than
five feet since Thursday.
Other local rivers did not
register much impact from the
rain, with the Fenholloway
River rising about half a foot,
cresting on Saturday afternoon,
and the Steinhatchee River
rising two feet, cresting Friday.
Eastward, the Suwannee and
Withlacoochee Rivers have
risen 20 to 30 feet in places.
The Withlacoochee was almost
two feet above its record level
Tuesday morning, according to

the NWS. It is projected to
slowly fall over the rest of the
week.
The Suwannee River,
however, is expected. to
continue to rise as much as 10
more feet in places.
The Taylor County Sheriffs
Office has sent an airboat and
several deputies to assist search
and rescue efforts in Madison
County.
According to the Southeast

Atlanta, the high levels of the

"We had more people than

Despite a local declaration
for a state of emergency due to

time Friday for the music to
start.
"The weather was beautiful,"
Taylor said. "We did have to go
inside Forest Capital Hall
Thursday due to the rain, but
everyone had a good time."
She estimated about 200
people listened to the music
Thursday.
That number grew
substantially Friday and
Saturday.

Boys & Girls Club thanks

community 'unsung hero'

Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Boys & Girls
Club of North Central Florida,
I felt the need to recognize one
of the unsung heroes in our
community.
Several weeks ago, I
contacted Michael Hauser with
Hauser Roofing regarding some
loose shingles on our Veteran's
Park Club. Within an hour, Mr.
Hauser was at the club to give me
an estimate. After surveying the

problem, he originally told me
that it would cost approximately
$1,500 to repair the damage.
However, after contemplating
the situation further, he decided
that he would do the repairs free
of charge.
Within two weeks, the repairs
were made and the roof was
as good as new. Mr. Hauser
noted several times that he just
wanted to help the kids. After
several conversations with him,

it is very clear to me that Mr.
Hauser is a community-minded
man whose heart lies with the
children in our community.
So, I would like to personally
thank Mr. Hauser and commend
you and wish you much
continued success in the future!
Sincerely,
Lisa A. English
Chief Professional Officer
Boys & Girls Club of
North Central Florida

CAPITOL UPDATE

from the office of Senator Charlie Dean

Editor's Note: The following
update on last week's activities in
the Florida Senate is presented as
part of Sen. Charlie Dean's weekly
'The Dean.- Document" released
Friday, April 3.
Week five has come to an end
in the Florida Senate.
The Senate met on the floor
on Thursday to consider passage,
of. bills which completed the
committee process. In the
legislative process, bills heard
"on the floor" are first placed
on a "Special Order Calendar"
where they are read for the
second time, debated, and

amended. Bills are then taken up
on "special order" and moved
to "third reading." The Florida
Constitution requires bills to
be read three times before a
chamber can pass the bill.
Some of the bills heard
Thursday for the second time
included Senate Bill 360 by Sen.
Mike Bennett, which creates
the Community Renewal Act.
The bill amends the Growth
Management Act and the
Environmental Land and Water
Management Act, including
changes to the comprehensive.
plan amendment process,

allowing additional growth in
densely populated areas, and
revising the consequences
arising when local governments
have not met certain reporting
requirements.
Thursday also saw the passage
of a number of trust fund bills to
reauthorize special trust funds
used by the state. Trust funds in
Florida have designated sources
of revenue, usually fees, special
taxes, or revenue from the
federal government. The Florida
Constitution requires all trust

The B*yd Report: 2010budget

**********************

U:S, Congressman Allen
Boyd, a leader of the Blue Dog
Coalition and a member, of the
Hpuse Budget Committe,.
Issued this'siatemenrt last \eek
in support of the House Budget
Resolution, touting its honest
assessment of our country's
fiscal realities and also
acknowledging the tough road
that lies ahead to restore fiscal
responsibility.
He said: 'IThe resolution,
which sets the budget blueprint
for Fiscal Year, 2010, brings,
honesty and accountability to
the budget process and includes
budget enforcement tools, long
advocated by Boyd, to chart a
path to fiscal discipline."
In order to address the issue of
long-tetm, fiscal sustainability,
Boyd and his' colleagues
in 'the Blue Dog Coalition
insisted that the House Budget
Resolution include an iron-
clad. commitment to statutory
pay-as-you-go rules, which if
set in law would prohibit the
federal government from de'fcil

spending.
The budget also requires that
any healthcare reform legislation
not add to our budget deficit and
includes. funding for program
integrity to identify waste and
abuse in government spending.
'Boyd, as chair of the Blue Dog
Budget Task Force, also played
a critical role in bringing down
discretionary spending levels
and ensuring that any energy-
related' legislation go through
regular order and have bipartisan
input.,
"For the first time in eight
years, we have a President
who, is shooting straight with
the American people about our
serious fiscal. and economic
challenges," said Boyd.
"Where previous budgets had
neglected to include massive
and anticipated spending
obligations such as the cost of
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
and the cost of the annual patch
to fix the Alternative Minimum
Tax the President's proposal
was an honest assessment of

our national 'priorities and
obligations. While the deficit
numbers may not be pretty, they
are honest; these numbers didn't
get this high overnight and
they can't be fixed overnight -
but I am proud that the House
Budget takes significant steps to
reverse the irresponsible fiscal
policies that have contributed
to this unprecedented financial
crisis."
Boyd worked on the House
Budget Committee to include
the following key priorities in
the budget resolution:
A commitment to pass
statutory pay-as-you-go
(PAYGO) in the House of
Representatives
Closes the gap between
spending and revenues by
cutting the deficit in half by
2013
Limits the growth of non-
security discretionary spending
Does not provide
reconciliation for cap-and-
trade- legislation and does not
assume any revenues from cap-
and-trade are dedicated to any
specific policy
Includes a reserve fund that
requires health care reform to be
deficit neutral
Includes full funding for the
President's defense request for
overseas military operations.
Funds the President's
budget request for Veterans at a
$5 billion increase.
The House Budget Resolution
also provides tax relief for
middle income families while
making strategic investments in
energy independence, education
and veterans' programs.
"It will take time to put our
country back on a fiscally
sustainable path, but by using a
budget framework that includes
statutory pay-as-you-go budget
discipline as a starting point,
like this budget does, we can get
there," Boyd added.
"We have much more
work ahead of us, and I will
continue working in Congress
to help chart a course to fiscal
responsibility and economic
growth in the long-term."

Midweek Muddle

By , .. v SA .N t .L.Cl''?L
By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

.When we made no plans to go on
a trip for Spring Break, I realized
again that I don't like being left
out.
By Monday, I was miserable. Yes,
Monday--the first day of the week.
I went to work late, in an effort
to be rebellious, but no one noticed
because you can't set a clock by me
anyway.
I typed. I defended our honor in
two separate phone calls. I slapped
together some sandwiches for lunch
and, worked a little more, and then
started my second job, with a load
of laundry.
That's when I think I pouted.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I pouted.
I did late afternoon yard work in
my bathingsuit, just -to make me
think I was on vacation--and to scare
away predators. It didn't work.
The husband had a brilliant idea
which involved food and the great
-outdoors. With picnic basket in
hand, we traveled to the hunting
club where I'm certain he wanted to
see a turkey run by, but I forgave
him for those wayward thoughts
and enjoyed, instead, watching
Nature on Spring Break.
The lily pads floated like I wanted
to float in a resort swimming pool
or on the Gulf of Mexico.
The blue herons flew like I wanted
to, to Hawaii or Jamaica.
The coots used their built-in jet
skis to motor around the lake and I
wanted to play too.
Wood ducks flew overhead. In
fact, birds of all feathers gathered
for Spring Break--red-winged black
birds, kingfishers and soaring
hawks.
We enjoyed the quietest of all
quiet, without the interruption

of mosquitoes or snakes. It was a
perfect destination for two hours of
Spring Break.
But I'm sorry; it wasn't enough. It
should have been, but it wasn't.
On Tuesday, I had to go back to
work and that's when I realized
that very few people were-on Spring
Break. The phone rang :endlessly;
politics continued despite the
school holiday; and the news, oh
the news, never takes a break.
By Wednesday and Thursday,
the storms and the rain had me
drowning in a sea of self-pity, and
then the weatherman said Friday
was going to be clear and 80 degrades.
I picked up the phone and called a
vacation rental office at St. George
Island. I said something like, "Give
me a place to stay and nobody will
get hurt."
She wanted to debate the
issue--something about a three-
night minimum. "I only have two
nights," I said, like a woman in a
terminal condition. "Surely, in a
recession, you've got somebody
who'd rather rent for two nights
than none."
Under duress, she found us a
place; it will never be featured
in House Beautiful, but it was a
beautiful escape from the reality of
work and more work.
I packed a suitcase quicker than
I've been known to pack school
lunches. I was there by 1:30 p.m.,
and sensing my desperation, she
allowed me to check in early.
I unfolded my lounge chair. I
pointed myself toward the sun
from which I draw strength. The
waves took all my troubles out to
sea, and I said softly as I closed my
eyes, "Ahhhh.... spring break."

While the state
unemployment rate jumped
again in February, Taylor
County's rate remained the
same, holding above 10 percent
for the second straight month.
Taylor County's rate was
10.4 in February leveling off

after the rate jumped 2.3
percent in January, according to
figures released by the Florida

newly inducted member of the
Country Music Hall of Fame,
Charlie McCoy.
The music also had a local
flavor, with several Taylor.
County youths participating in
the Sawgrass' Band and the
Tallahassee Fiddlers.
"The line-up was really top-
notch bluegrass musicians,"
Taylor said.
In addition to the main-stage
entertainment, dozens took part
in a series of workshops held
Saturday morning taught by the

musicians.
The festival was also the site
of the finals for the Florida
State Bluegrass Competitions,
which saw individuals and
bands from around the state
competing for the state title.
Taylor said the festival
would not have been possible
without the help of the Taylor
County Tourism Development
Council, as well as its local
sponsors, which included:
Progress Energy, Timberland
Ford, Foley Timber & Land
Company, Goodman's BBQ,
Capital City Bank, Comcast,

Yarbrough Tire Company,
Huddle House, Mama's Italian

Dwight Norris said.
"A large amount of stolen
property was also recently
seized at a residence in the
county. The owners of some of

the property have been
identified and some have not.
We have jewelry, electronics,
outdoor equipment and
construction tools. Anyone
who has been burglarized and
who has not reported it, should

the exception of September, the
county's unemployment rate
had risen every month since
April 2008.
According to AWI, 972
people were unemployed in
Taylor County in February out
of a labor force of 9,347.
There were 123 initial
unemployment claims made in
Taylor County in February,
down from 193 in January. In
the last five months of 2008,
the county was averaging 100
per month.
In February, Taylor had the

20th highest unemployment
rate out of Florida's 67
counties, down from its 16th
ranking in January.
Florida's seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate for
February was 9.4 percent,
representing 874,000 jobless
out of a labor force of
9,252,000. The rate was 0.6
percentage point higher than
the revised January rate of 8.8
percent and was up 4.2
percentage points from the
February 2008 rate.
The state's unemployment

rate was 1.3 percentage points
higher than the national
unemployment rate of 8.1
percent.
Florida's February
unemployment rate was the
highest since April 1976, when
the rate was also 9.4 percent.
The seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate for Florida
(using the current
methodology) peaked at 9.7
percent in January, February,
and March of 1976.

Potatoes are in the ground, lawn mowers are
buzzing, and the earth has come alive once
again--I actually picked fresh strawberries at
Tuten's Farms early last Saturday morning before
the monsoons!
But, despite all the heavy rain recently, I have
never seen a more beautiful spring than this one
in North Florida! The azaleas were so filled with
blossoms that--from a distance--they seemed like
one enormous velvety pink bloom!

A repair and a story
Mr. Strickland, of the tool repair and sales on
Hwy 19 in Perry, has repaired my tiller so I am
ready to plant my herb garden as the rains
subside. While waiting for the repair, he told me
a wonderful story. Once, at a cake sale, my
Grandma Sheffield made one of her delicious
pound cakes as a donation. Mr. Strickland
purchased the cake and then generously told my
Grandmother to give that cake to someone in
need. She smiled that smile and said she knew
just who to give it to! It is this kind and generous
spirit that I have found still flourishing in my
little part of the world, here in Shady Grove.

Two welcomes extended:
Rocky's at Shady Grove
Cameron Scott Singletary
We have two welcomes to extend: Shady
Grove Grocery; is, as of April 1st, "Rocky's of
Shady Grove." One can buy[ .gas, groceries,
enjoy a thick hamburger,; and evyn buy a turkey
call or two! There is also a new resident of
,Shady Grove--Cameron Scott Singletary--the
son of Stacie McLeod Singletary and her
husband Brant. Long-time Shady Grove
residents, Jerry and Elaine McLeod are proud
grandparents. Welcome little Cameron!

Hendry Reunion
'well-attended'
The Hendry McLeod reunion was this past
Saturday at the newly renovated fdllowship' haltl
of the' b'ber Hendry Memoial Methodist
Church in Shady Grove. It was well-attended
with folks coming from Tallahassee,
Jacksonville, Alabama and Orlando! This
reunion is in honor of my Great-Grandmother,
Arie Bailey McLeod Hendry...whom I remember
as the sweetest woman of my life! We are now
looking forward to the Hendry Day, which will
be the first Sunday in May. It is a rare occasion
that people know of 3rd, 4th and 5th cousins in

this day of blackberry PDA phones,
teleconferencing, and hybrid cars, but to actually
meet them and share a meal is rare indeed!
All in all, this has been quite a transition
relocating- from a diverse university town in
Kansas, to Shady Grove, but I have ambitious
plans of making a wonderful home here in the
country. Thank you for allowing me this space to
share a little of my homesteading here in "the
grove".
Baby chicks wanted
Please contact me at the Taco Times if anyone
knows where to buy baby chickens who lay
brown eggs. I hope to begin a chicken yard with
6-8 of them and plan to model the yard after that
of my Grandma's--who I understand modeled
hers after my Great Grandmother's, Mrs. Arie
McLeod Hendry. My Great-Uncle Curtis Tedder,
has given me his mother's wide-brimmed egg
gathering hat for just this purpose!

Tedder Reunion
planned April 25th
By the way, the Tedder reunion is the 25th of
April this year in Shady Grove. Mark your
calendars!

Incidentally, Becky Tedder Ray doesn't usually
enjoy cooking, but the casserole-she brought to
the luncheon was delicious and a huge hit! She
has unknowingly raised the bar (and expectations
for another delicious dish) for Hendry Day.
